What is Mind Control? Mind Control. When you hear those words a myriad of images may come to mind. You might envision a devious man using the power of his mind and will to dominate the actions of some unsuspecting and innocent women. You may think of some clandestine cabal of world leaders secretively planning the next steps toward a unified world economy. Or perhaps you are the cult leader (one of my favorite images) with a gathering of loyal followers ready to hear every word. It is not likely you have in mind a loving parent reading to his children or an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting helping its members live a decent life of sobriety. It is also unlikely that, as you stand in your favorite church of worship, you will recognize the grasp that Mind Control has on you. Or as you sit with your psychiatrist you are unlikely to be aware of the subtle acts of Mind Control that are being used on you. But it is there. And for the sake of this book, any attempt to bring about a change in your thoughts and feelings, and therefore your actions, is an act of Mind Control. That may sound shocking because most people see Mind Control as a bad thing done by bad people. So let me make it clear; the intention and motives of the controller are not relevant to this discussion. The controller may be motivated by the most altruistic ideals or may only want your money. This book will attempt to uncover the methods of how those thoughts and feelings are instilled to bring about the controller's outcome. To make a distinction Mind Control differs from the vulgar actions and tactics of coercion. Coercion is when all a controller wants is to have someone make a specific action and has no concern for their motivation. Threats, guilt and humiliation will usually do the job. But coercion lacks any form of grace or elegance. Coercion cares nothing about the thoughts and feelings of the people being coerced. This is the major difference between coercion and Mind Control.
